who will save the clowns?

and so they jump, one following the other, abandoning a ship that began its slow descent to the depths a long time ago. soon, the interns alone will survive, accompanied by the incompetent, semi-literate yes-men-women. and lording it over the sorry bunch — dumbo the handkerchief-chewer and baldy, the college dropout coconut-seller from kerala.

together, the ten of them will rewrite stories culled from real news sites. together, they will churn out even poorer copy. together, they will create slideshows with titles like 'bollywood bombshells who look like elizabeth taylor' and 'bollywood bad boys who look good in swimwear.'

together, they will sit and wonder why the good people of america laugh at their newspaper. together, they will sit and wonder why no one wants to visit their ridiculous website anymore.
